Not Suffering Much.

The Haley papers apparently
would have the impression go out
that Bellevue and ketchum were
great sufferers from the foods, and
that no road was open to travel ex-
cepting that leading from Haley
to the alleged Gold Belt. One of
the papers says:
We truly sympathizc with our citizens of
Bellevue, Broadford. Ketchum aud other
points along the river in their hour of dis
tress from the food. and trust when the
waters subside il may be found that the
loss and damage is not SO extensive as it j.
thought to be.

The East Fork Short Route.

On Tuesday T. w. Gillette. John
Pilmer, G. McPheters and a sur
veyor went over the line of the pro-
posed new short route to East Fork.
The new road was marked out and
will be built as speedily as posi-
bic. With it's completion the dis
lance from Ketchum will be about
nine miles, and saving OF nine
miles made in hauling on each

The Elkhorn Suit.

The suit of S. +. Hauscr ct al
vs.. Austin ct al. or which is best
known as the Elkhorn case" oc-
cupied the attention of the District
Court during the week at HALEY.
The controversy is over certain
portions of the Elkhorn mine which
the leasers claim they were entitled
to work, and litigation over the
matter has been continued for Il
long time, having been before the
District and Supreme courts. The
parties interested are S. I. Hauser,
l. l. Lewis and Messrs. Hotter d
Hale as plaintiffs, and Messrs. Aus
tin, IRVINE and Grant as defend
ants. Yesterday morning Judge
Broderick rendered a decision in
the case, giving to plaintiffs their
portion ofthe ore in controversy, and

During the litigation
about $4,000 in the hands of the

tied up, and, in all probability, will

A Handsome Spot.

The grounds surrounding the
residence of J. B. Harper now pre-
sent an inviting appearance and
show what continued care and at
tention can accomplish. The
ground that but a short time ago
was nothing but sagebrush tract
and arid waste, now blossoms as
the rose, green grass surrounds the
house, a never failing supply OF
water furnishes the needed nour-
ishment to the vegetation, while
the neatly kept out buildings gives
to the place the appearance of "A
model farm on small scale. From
the front Of the house one can look
down toward the creek upon the
vegetable garden, where every vari
ETY. thrives luxuriantly, and a straw
berry patch, the vines now In full
blossom, gives promise of an abund-
ant yield of these delicious berries
in a few weeks. A small cherry
tree bearing several blossoms gives
evidence that with proper care all
such fruits can be successfully
raised here. The cultivation Of
flowers is Mrs. Harper's pride, and
the fragrant perfume from gerani-
ums, roses and other choice plants
now pervades the place, while beds
of beautiful pansles decorate the
garden as they lie in great clusters
amid the emerald greenness of a
well-kept lawn.

A HALEY Brute Attempts an Indecent
Assault Upon q Child.

On Tuesday last n despicable
wretch hailing from HALEY, named
Geo. Stevenson, attempted to COM
NIT an outrageous assault upon a
five-year old child, the daughter
of a well known resident of town.
Stevenson had secured job to saw
some wood for Charles Bassett, but
after working few minutes got
tired of decent labor and strolled
off in the vicinity of the Catholic
Church, passing his time in .rying
to entice young girls to accompany
him. He finally by dint of prom
Uses and giving child some candy
succeeded in getting her into the
barn at the rear of the residence
now occupied by Mr.. Bassett, when
he attempted to carry out bis hellish
design. The screams Of the child
frustrated his vile intentions and
the little one escaped to her home
and told her parents what had
taken place. The irate father
hunted up the fellow and. finding
him at the Metropolitan corner, adj
ministered well deserved beating.
The brute made no resistance and
seemed to know he was getting off
cheap. The last seen of him he
had turned the corner at the Idaho
Forwarding store and was not los
ing any time getting out of town.
When it was known what he had
been guilty of a number Of citizens
started out to find him. but were
unable to discover his whereabouts.
Had he been caught, more than
likely he would have been roughly
dealt with. The man is said to
have a wife and family at HALEY.

Thu New School House,

The contract for the building of
the new brick school house was
awarded, Wednesday, to Lapointe
Brothers of Ketchum and r. J.
Bell of HALEY, their bid for the
work being 50, 900, and the work on
the building will soon be started.
The town will receive the benefit of
all the money to be expended, and
as it comes from the pockets of the
residents it is no more than right
that any benefit to be derived should
be given to the people here. The
building will be handsome edifice
when completed and it is to be
ready for occupancy in time for the
fall term. The interior of the up
per portion of the building is not
TO be finished this year. there not
being sufficient funds available for
the purpose, but will be completed
as soon as possible.

Ketchum Can Secure the Trade Of the
District at Triaing Expense.

On Thursday morning Hon. G.
B. Baldwin, Jack Bowers, George
Leonard, Morris O'Connell, ]. F.
Peterson and J. H. Hickey, all .oi
Boise, left town for the Sheep
Mountain country, accompanied
by J. Urquide's pack train loaded
with supplies for carrying on the
seasons work in that new district.
The gentlemen own a number of
fine prospects there and will work
their claims until snow flies next
winter. The various mines of
Sheep Mountain district are all
showing well in ore and the owners
are anxious that a wagon road be
constructed SO that they can have
direct communication with Ketch-
UNI. Last year two-thirds ofthe ore
was packed to the Clayton smelters,
but those interested in the develop
ment of the district are willing and
eager to assist to establish direct
road. The Buckskin Mining Com
pany, near Stanley Basin, it is
thought would willingly assist in
building a road from there to
Ketchum, which would require but
little work, and from the Buckskin
TO Demands Summit the sum OF
$500 would be sufficient to build
good road. A number of the par
lies interested offer to furnish
arge proportion of the work on
he road free of charge, while Messrs.
Baldwin & Bell will start sub
,cription list for the purpose with
800. At present Bonanza is the
supply points for the new mines,
,ut. with the building of a through |
Dad to Demands Summit Ketchum
will get all the trade from that To-
:ality. The building of the road is
J matter of importance to ketchum,
nd immediate steps should be
aiken to see if it would not be a
profitable investment to secure to
ur town the trade that is anxious
o come here if wagon road il
furnished for the purpose. The
istance to the Baldwin mine from
lctchum is l12 miles, and greater
art Of the country furnishes a
atural road. The amount to be
is comparatively small,
nd a full share of the expense will
e pledged by those interested in
heep Mountain district.

Decoration Dav.

While Bellevue and Haley ap.
propriately observed Decoration
Day, ketchum. as usual, was in the
rear Of the procession, and no
united effort was made to join in
the observance. A few interested
themselves in the matter and ar.
ranged to commemorate the day
A number Of the members of the
ketchum band volunteered to fur
nish the necessary music. but at
the last moment it was discovered
that one of the musicians, whose
services were Indispensable, had
gone fishing and failed to keep his
appointment, which prevented the
others from turning out. Late in
the afternoon a small party visited
the cemetery and decorated the
graves Of the buried soldiers and Il
few friends. There was no Grafton.
no prayer, no music, but the same
spirit that prompted the action of
of others to do honor to
the dead in other places pervaded
the hearts of these few, and showed
there were some of the living that
those who had passed
away. Aside from this, and the
decoration Of one or two graves by
other parties, the day passed unob-
served, while in nearly every other
place the opportunity to unite in a
general observance of the day was
eagerly embraced.

damage is being done. All the
brid gcs between Bayhorse and

the town of Bayhorse inundated.
and the Challis irrigation ditch is
also badly damaged. The bridge
across the main Salmon ut the

Lively Day.

Thursday was lively day in
Ketchum. Before s o'clock in the
morning Main street was filled with
teams, a pack train was loading for
Sheep Mountain, a fight took place,
a drunken woman arrested and a
crazy man taken in custody. The
OK train of Frank Gooding engaged
in hauling lime to the smelter had
hard work to make its way through
the street while the street sprinkler
had to suspend operations until
the street was cleared and the excite
ment in a measure abated.

Inc report OF the consolidation
Of the Senate and Gladiator mining
companies seems to be an assured
fact. Work on the property will
be carried on more extensively than
before, and it is stated that 80 men
will be put to work soon. If such
is the case, it will revive the droop-
ing spirits Of Vienna and give to
the town quite a boom.
The two leading mines of C9ur
d'Alene district are the Sullivan and
Bunker Hill, at Wardner. The
gross value OF the ore averages $50
ton, and the extraction of silver
and lead, including the working
charges, transportation and reduc-
ton, is $3S per ton, leaving profit
Of 800 in every ton Of rock taken
out. There are 100000 tons of ore
in sight.
II. A. Mcmillan, Of Butte, Mon
tana, representing Fraser Il Chal-
mers, arrived in town on Thursday.
He will remain here for some time
engaged in experimenting the cree
ton of new machinery at the smelt-
ing works and at the Silver and
North Star mines. The machinery
is expected here shortly, and, pend
ing arrival, the new buildings, in
cline and trackways will be con-
structed.
ROCKY BAR.
The Gilmore mine, since work
commenced under the present
management, has paid out over
$4,000 in dividends. Taking
into consideration the great expense
the company has been under in
erecting a new mill and other i'm
provements, this showing is good
one. The company pays out be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 every
month, which adds greatly to the
prosperity of the town. The Ell
more is showing great improvement
as work progresses, and it will
prove itself to be one Of the best
mines in the territory.
The Vishnu Company has COM
pleted a new ten-stamp mill, and
it is now working on ore from the
mine.
